Never leave your house without a Pro Elf Catcher! MA 8, ST 3, AG 4 and Nerves of Steel ... do you need more arguments? Give him Blodge and noone will stop him.

This is not the normal case ... may he RIP!

IMO his STR 4 made him to primary target.

Did you you him for other jobs than making TDs? If you use him as a Blitzer, he stood too often with his low AV in the middle of a battle.

my offence for elves consisted of breaking two holes, one in the wings, from a blitz, and another on the end of the LoS.

then race two catchers through, cover with blitzers/other. DO NOT PASS

make sure your thrower/lino with the ball is covered

leave a turn...they can only blitz one of the catchers, so will usually have SOMEONE to pass to.

without catchers...you be forced to play the running game i think. although this would force even more SPPs onto your blitzers, which could be going to your linos.

ST,

I like that last post matey.

I scored three touchdowns in my first game and they were all ran in by blitzers. The catchers seem to be priority targets. I f I do sneak them through then they get marked ina big way and then I can't get the LOS to make any difference even if outnumbering.

*sigh* the times when a player with leap would have been a god send.

do i look stupid?.....no wait dont answer that

to get to the 5spp's he was on he scored 14 tds 1 completed pass 1 cas and 2 mvp i found the strength a bonus for if he was in tz's and neded to blitz out but his primary role was as a catcher and i don't even leave my blitzers hanging around in TZ's

he eventually bought it by failing a 2+ dodge and going down so you could say it was suicide

i cant see it in the PBBL rules, and a forum search hasnt turned it up for me.

thanks!
It's the straight, unadorned "Elf" list. People call it "Pro" because of the fluff attached to the roster, iirc.

It used to be called the "Pro Elf" team, to distinguish it from the other "* Elf" teams.

I don't like the "Elf" name, as many people use that to refer to the "* Elf" teams in general.
